Dear Charlie:

It is better for children to not have their parents’ new girlfriends and boyfriends in their lives, it confuses them as they see new people come in and out of their lives, as it often happens, the father has a new girlfriend and later another new girlfriend, and same with the mother.

Better that a parent keeps his/ her dating life out of the child’s experience.

If I understand correctly, your ex is not living with his girlfriend, correct? And you are not living with your boyfriend?

– is it a possibility to solve this problem by the two of you agreeing to not have your boyfriend and his girlfriend in your son’s life at all?
